Chapter O429 Return to Earth

This chapter is going to make up the number of words again, and the character of the old Liang Tou has already been wooden, and he doesn't want to be old-fashioned. Next month, I won't take full attendance.

This month, it is no longer a question of money, but a matter of perseverance.

This chapter is all about the word count, so let's read it tomorrow morning. If you want to scold Lao Liangtou, you can scold it, this thing really should be scolded! You can also not subscribe to Lao Liangtou's Piaotianwen report on 22 February, starting from November 2oo9, the United States has often disclosed the progress of the construction of the new-generation "Ford"-class aircraft carrier Net-78 "Gerald Ford" to show off its advanced performance. However, the new US aircraft carrier is somewhat "out of time" because its "nemesis" China's "Dongfeng-21D" anti-ship ballistic missile has been born, and the showdown between the two may even affect the outcome of the Sino-US Pacific contest.

Russian media said that the Net-78 "Ford" is the first aircraft carrier of the same name, and the size index of this class of aircraft carrier is the same as that of the "Nimitz" class, but after the use of new shipboard equipment, the total workload can be reduced by 3o, the crew will be reduced by at least 5oo people, and it is possible to reduce 9oo people in the future. Thus, the total number of aircraft carriers of the "Ford" class (including frogmen and aircraft squadron personnel) will be 466o people. The new aircraft carrier can carry 75-9o aircraft and helicopters of various types, and is planned to be commissioned in 2o15, with a construction cost of more than 5o billion dollars, and an expected service period of 5o years. It uses two new nuclear reactors that can operate without interruption and ensure that the aircraft carrier does not need to be refueled until it is decommissioned. However, just as the new US aircraft carrier is about to enter service in a few years, the rather exciting news about China's successful development of the US aircraft carrier's nemesis, the "Dongfeng-21D" anti-ship ballistic missile, has been revealed. In fact, as early as the 7o years of the last century, China began to argue on this topic. But at the time, it was repeatedly criticized, saying that it had no prospects. All countries that are familiar with China's anti-ship ballistic missile development program believe that it is impossible for such missiles to hit moving targets and destroy enemy warships, including aircraft carriers.

Russian media said that China plans to equip the "Dongfeng-21" series of missiles with a non-nuclear warhead weighing about 6oo kilograms, which can fly along a ballistic trajectory and can blow through the deck of an aircraft carrier. But it must first have a high accuracy of hitting, after all, the difficulty of locking on to moving targets is the main flaw of this weapon concept. Fortunately, after 2o years of research and development, the "Dongfeng-21" series of missiles was finally successfully tested and equipped with troops. Not so long ago, it was reported that China has developed the latest model "Dongfeng-21D", which is said to have a range of up to 3ooo kilometers and a fairly high accuracy of hitting. As for the question of how the Chinese designers made the "Dongfeng-21D" range up to 3ooo km, there is practically nothing special, the USSR and the USA did it many years ago. As for the accuracy of the hit of the "Dongfeng-21D", the same is not a problem. Although there are far more questions about this missile than answers. The DF-21 series of missiles may not be a successful weapon, but it can be regarded as a revolutionary new weapon. In the US military policy, the aircraft carrier battle group, which is highly mobile and combat-effective, is the "long arm" of the White House to interfere in affairs thousands of miles away and solve a large number of problems that arise from time to time. If the DF-21D has indeed formed combat effectiveness, and is not just for propaganda, then the United States may face very great danger in the event of a conflict with China, after all, the United States has never had an aircraft carrier destroyed by the enemy after World War II.

Russian media said that after World War II, the waters of the Pacific Ocean have been occupied by the US and Soviet navies. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the US Navy became the sole hegemon, and the only one that could challenge it in the future was the Chinese Navy. Of course, the era of China's sea power has not yet arrived, and China can only dominate the waters near its own territorial waters, and the rest will be included in the US sphere of influence. Now, China has the ability to act aggressively in offshore waters, and there is a tendency for China to begin to break free from this shackle. However, the renewal of the navy will not happen overnight. Until then, China needs effective weapons to protect its territorial waters, a role that is well suited to the DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missile, if it does exist and has the rumored advanced capabilities. The Pacific Ocean seems to be turning into an arena for a new arms race, only this time it is not the USSR that will compete with the Americans, but China. Now it's just the beginning, and over time, Russia, South Korea, North Korea and *** may also get involved. Although China and the United States, the two most likely potential competitors, are both building up their armaments, they have not shown any intention of confronting other countries. China has consistently reiterated that it is only building up its navy to protect its maritime frontiers. Not long ago, the US Deputy Secretary of Defense clearly stressed that the United States does not regard China as an adversary and has no intention of containing China. However, U.S. aircraft carrier battle groups often shuttle between the U.S. mainland and the western Pacific, and China has been closely monitoring U.S. aircraft carrier movements. The new warships of the US military always go to serve in the Pacific first, so the competition between the Chinese and US navies in the western Pacific has never stopped, and the Cold War that seems to be something is very delicate.

Russian media said that the current arms race in the Pacific between China and the United States is not particularly intense. The United States is building a new type of aircraft carrier, and the second one is about to be built, and China's response plan is to develop a new type of anti-ship ballistic missile; the United States has long begun to develop a new type of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that can take off from an aircraft carrier and act over long distances, and China is preparing to build a new air defense missile system capable of intercepting all active and prospective aircraft. In short, the two sides are facing each other and do not give in to each other. For example, the U.S. preference for drones has prompted China to vigorously develop electronic warfare equipment, and the U.S. military's preference for aircraft carriers has directly stimulated the PLA to develop anti-ship missiles.

Russian media said that judging from the experience of the US military after World War II, it is not difficult to understand why the United States needs to build a strong navy, because carrier-based aircraft have played a very important role in many battles. Even during World War II, most of the islands were fought with the active participation of the Navy. The battle for islands may become the most realistic topic in the waters of the western Pacific in the future, and the hypothetical action of the Chinese squadron to seize the beach and regain Taiwan has been predicted by the West for decades. China and *** are also likely to start an island battle in the East China Sea. In the South China Sea, China's sovereignty has also been provoked by Vietnam, the Philippines and other countries. Although there may not be a war in the South China Sea for the time being, skirmishes have occurred from time to time, and China and Vietnam broke out over the South China Sea dispute last year. If the Philippines, Vietnam and other countries have a large-scale conflict with China over the seizure of the Nansha islands, then there is now reason to conclude that China will win. This is because, first, the Chinese navy today is one of the most powerful in Asia, and second, China continues to build new types of ships. The later the conflict erupts, the stronger China will be, and the more difficult it will be for its adversaries to deal with it.

Russian media said that if a conflict breaks out in the South China Sea, the US aircraft carrier may intervene again. Of course, the United States does not intend to go to war against China, if only because of China's strong mobilization potential. But the U.S. aircraft carrier after aircraft carrier kept approaching the awakened Chinese dragon, clearly showing its extreme unease. Moreover, it would be detrimental to the United States to sit back and watch China recover all of these territories, not only because China would receive the energy resources necessary for the country's development, but also because once China fully controlled the South China Sea, it would be able to threaten the US military base in Guam more easily. It should be said that the US Navy already has experience in intimidating China with aircraft carriers. In 1996, when the activities of *** elements were rampant, China held a series of military exercises in the Taiwan region to warn the *** forces not to act rashly. Then-US President Clinton immediately hinted at supporting the *** forces, preparing to protect Taiwan, and sending two aircraft carrier battle groups to the Taiwan Strait to intervene in China's internal affairs. Since then, China has begun to develop plans to deal with the threat of U.S. aircraft carriers, building new warships and expanding its naval capabilities. At the time, China's official rhetoric was that it must protect its merchant ships and ensure the safety of its maritime lifelines. China's new strategy unveiled in 2oo4 was initially not very noticeable, but after China destroyed a scrapped satellite in 2oo7, the West no longer dared to take China's plan to strengthen its military lightly and began to revisit China's declaration.

According to the Russian media, China's achievements in naval construction are quite outstanding, and it can be said that there has been significant progress in both quantity and quality. For example, in the last decade, the number of Chinese submarines and the number of anti-ship missiles they can carry has increased almost threefold. The quality of naval equipment has been significantly improved, and many new ships have been added. With the strengthening of national defense strength, the voice of the Chinese side has become increasingly tough. Previously, China accused the United States of trying to put China in the so-called "first island chain", and many countries and regions included in the first island chain, such as China, Taiwan, the Philippines, etc., have signed military assistance treaties with the United States. Now the Chinese dragon is getting stronger and ready to drive the Americans to the Hawaiian Islands. However, American experts are not inclined at the moment to believe that the Chinese Navy will inevitably win in a similar battle, and even, on the contrary, they believe that the Chinese Navy will not be able to win in an open conflict with the US Navy for the time being.

Russian media said that since 2oo8, the US military has begun to hold a series of simulated exercises in the Pacific region, and the hypothetical enemy is "an almost evenly matched opponent", which obviously refers to China. There may be some reasons why the US military is so challenging the PLA. But the United States, hampered by a series of economic problems, is unable to openly confront China. The economic and trade relationship between China and the United States is very solid, and the production of many products has been transferred from the United States to China to significantly reduce costs, not only for daily consumer goods, but also for other high-tech products. In addition, the U.S. budget deficit is increasing by nearly $1 trillion a year, forcing China to plead with China to buy large quantities of the four U.S. Treasury bonds. All of this has allowed China to firmly choke the United States. Although the U.S. economy can reduce China's influence, it is necessary to reinvigorate its own industry and re-produce all the products that have been transferred to Chinese factories, and this is definitely not a matter of a year and a trillion dollars, and it is difficult for the United States to do it in a short period of time. More importantly, China is now dealing with the United States in the same way that the United States dealt with the Soviet Union, and is economically crushing its opponents.

In short, the current situation in the confrontation between China and the United States is very delicate. China's expanding power has not only rapidly enriched the country and strengthened its military, but also continued to strengthen its political, military, and economic influence, at least in the Asia-Pacific region. On the contrary, the United States, on the contrary, has given up the favorable opportunity to contain China in pursuit of cheap goods, and has almost cultivated its own geopolitical rivals that are evenly matched with itself. What is even more embarrassing for the United States is that there is no challenge from China, and the United States has many problems that must be solved as much as possible, and China's military strength will continue to increase.
